Are Binding Death Agreements required for each member?*
- Yes

Seeking legal advice for Binding Death Agreements:*
Death Benefit Agreements are an important Estate Planning consideration. The client’s existing Will and Estate Plan may not cover this new Self Managed Super Fund.

If Binding Death Agreements are required then the client MUST seek individual legal advice on how it relates to their Estate Planning.

The Director must discuss this with the client as part of their discussion about setting up a new SMSF.

Aintree Group Legal can be involved in this process where required, at the relevant Director’s discretion.
I confirm the Director has informed the client of their Binding Death Agreement options and notifed them to seek indvidual legal advice for this matter.

How does Member #1 want to handle their death benefit payment arrangements?*
Aintree Group’s CA Team does not set up Death Benefit Arrangements as part of setting up a new Self Managed Super Fund, the client will need to seek individual legal advice for their circumstances.

- With a Death Benefit Agreement

Does Member #1 want to nominate a reversionary beneficiary?*
This will ensure that 100% of any retirement phase pension the member is being paid at the time of death automatically reverts to a specified person, who is a pension dependant, as an income stream upon the member’s death.

From 1 July 2017, where a member’s retirement phase pension is paid as a death benefit in the form of a pension to the member’s pension dependant, it will be credited towards the beneficiary’s transfer balance account. The transfer balance account will be credited either:
– At the time the pension starts to be paid to the beneficiary, if the pension did not automatically revert to the beneficiary; or
– 12 months after the member’s death, if the pension automatically reverted to the beneficiary (that is, it was a reversionary pension).
- Yes
- No
Who does Member #1 wish to appoint as 'reversionary beneficiary'?*
First Middle Last
If at the time of the member's death, not all the death benefits are distributed to the above reversionary beneficiary as a pension, how does the member want the death benefits to be distributed?*
This will apply where a member has benefits that are not retirement phase income streams, or where the member’s pension cannot be paid as a death benefit in the form of a pension because the beneficiary has already died or is not a pension dependant at the time of the member’s death. In those cases, all relevant benefits will be paid to the person(s) you nominate in the manner and proportions you nominate.

Form of Benefit Options:
1. As a pension (if possible) otherwise as a lump sum
2. As a lump sum cash payment
3. At the discretion of the Trustee

Do you want the member's death benefit nominations to bind the trustee?*
When a Member dies, the SMSF may pay a death benefit. In the previous question about the Member’s beneficiaries, you were able to add information about who the Member wants the Trustee to pay any benefit to. Now you need to choose whether the Trustee is bound by the Member’s nomination or whether the Trustee is to have some discretion about who to pay.
- Yes
- No
If you answer ‘Yes’ to this question, then it makes the nomination a “binding death benefit nomination”. This means that the trustee must pay any death benefit to the person the member nominates. However, the law says that a binding death benefit nomination does not expire until revoked or replaced.
If you answer ‘No’ to this question, then the trustee can choose to pay any death benefit to someone other than the person the member nominated. This means the nomination is a “non-binding death benefit nomination”. These nominations last until they are updated or replaced.
A pension cannot be made reversionary by a non-binding nomination.
You cannot select “Yes” to nominating a Reversionary Beneficiary and “No” to a binding death benefit nomination. Please review answers above and adjust accordingly.
